Take a look as our Duncraig Year 11 and 12 Marine and Maritime Studies students go scuba diving! The students made it all the way through their diving course and are now qualified open water scuba divers. Awesome!

Today had David Reid who is a paramedic and lecturer at ECU visit our lesson. We talked about the respiratory and circulatory system and got to use his ECG machine to measure our heart rate, oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the body. Students talked to David about his fascinating career as a paramedic and learnt so much from his experiences.
I had lots of fun too as David has a great sense of humour.

An exciting round of games this week against LJBC saw 8 wins across the board. The senior volleyballers stood strong taking out both the male and female games in straight sets 2-0. The senior girls touch team had a close match narrowly loosing 4-5 but the junior girls were racing through with a 6-2 victory. This week a special mention to the year 7/8 cricket team who smashed LJBC 138 runs to 27 and to the year 8 girls basketball team who won 20 to 5.
This week we are taking on Irene McCormack and wish all our teams the best.

As part of their Service Learning today A2 paid a visit to Creative Arts by RISE (formerly CATA) in Warwick.
Rise works with adults with disabilities to enjoy creative arts, which include drawing, woodwork, pottery and sewing. Our students had a hugely enjoyable time working with them on their artistic projects. All agreed it was a very worthwhile experience and, as ever, the students were a credit to themselves and to the school.
The students who attended from the A2 HR were:

In the first week of CAS for the new school year, all teams versed Prendiville College. There were some tough matches played against Prendiville resulting in some wins and losses.
In the girl’s senior touch, we drew with Prendiville 2-2. The senior girl’s year 10-12 volleyball team came away with a 2-1 victory as well as did the year 8 boys basketball winning 32 to 17.
The Year 7-8 boys cricket team had a close win against Prendiville with the score being 59 to 48. Unfortunately, the year 9-10 boys cricket team also had a close match but resulted in a loss with Prendiville scoring 153 and us only 139. The year 8-9 girls touch team were successful with scoring 4 to 2.
A special mention to the boy’s senior volleyball, who although saw Prendiville win, scoring 1-2, the two teams scored equal overall points smashing the second set but couldn’t take the third.
This week we’re up against LJBC, good luck to all involved.
